Armin Strom
I really am digging the One Week First Edition and have found one available but this would set back me getting a Patek 5172 which I have lusted after for a while and is my second grail only behind the Patek 5270. I just worry if I was to tire of the AS it would be a slow sell and Id take a bath but am I missing something with AS? They really haven't been something I was aware of or followed before.

How close are you to the 5172?
Yes, you'll take a big hit on the AS, but if you see it as being part of a longer-term collection, then go for it. If you'll eventually sell it to get a 5172 then consider how much closer you'll be if you forego the AS. |

One of my friends has one and absolutely loves it.
I’ve checked out their work in person and it’s amazing. Have a mirrored force en route myself. |

I can do the 5172 easily if I get off my butt and sell a couple things I do not wear.

The path is clear So the next question you'll have to grapple with is whether you should go directly to the 5270 (preowned they seem like a great value compared to retail price). Sell a couple pieces. Skip the 5172. Forego the AS. How close are you to your stated grail piece? Or perhaps that grail should remain as such for now... |
